* ''BlackLagoon''. [[ActionGirl Revy]] (who, [[OppositesAttract it is worth noticing]] is one of the [[BadAss best fighters on the show]], has had several guys make passes at her. Admittedly none of the ones we ''see'' try to chat her up are action guys, but given her appearance and the general population of Roanapur some BadAss guy must have made a move. The only guy she's ever shown the slightest interest in is [[NonActionGuy Rock]].

* Marena, the resident Lunar Exalted in ''Keychain of Creation'', seems to be this for the the entirety of the first chapter and much of the second, an assumption made in large part due to her apptitude for Manipulation, shapeshifting and [[AnythingThatMoves promiscuity]] being juxtaposed with several instances of her outright stating that she is useless in a fight. [[spoiler: It should be noted, however, that Marena also happens to be a [[BlatantLies bloody liar]], and as such failed to mention her Deadly Beastman Form(tm) until it was dramatically appropriate, so this is a bit of a subversion.]]
